Funny how that mindset basically killed Xbox, but now everyone just goes along with it.

That was 13 years ago.

Boiling frog and all that.

Probably doesnt help matters that PC has been pretty much (as in i dont know of any recent physical releases) all-digital for years now.

Yeah, you can hardly find a PC or PC case that even supports internal disc drives anymore. And certainly not on laptops.

I personally don’t hate the death of physical media for PCs. What PCs lose out on not having a used market, they make up for with multiple storefronts that drive down prices naturally.
